I'm just curious...

Can someone explain why Microsoft Application Error Reporting requests an outbound connection to a Microsoft server before Word informs me that an error has occurred and then asks if I want to send an error report?

I had my firewall deny each request (there were three, which I assume were retries) and only after MAER stopped trying did Word inform me of the error and ask.

Very strange.

Cheers...
